My account has been locked up because my daughter has three separate BG3 games going with friends. Last week my son said we need to put a time limit on her because nobody else can play on Steam.

He said he could connect to windows and fedora thru bluetooth.

I was having the same problem last night trying to connect an controller thru bluetoothctl on Mint.

Thanks for posting this. I didn’t know it existed.

I bought the game and I still considered emulating it just to run it at higher res.

I screencapped this because I can’t trust the internet to have it when I want to come back and laugh at it again.

Can’t help but feel like this is the market that exists for anything Pokémon adjacent because Pokémon has sucked ass for like a decade.

I run it as a docker app then feed it to Plex and jellyfin.

I know enough to be dangerous. I know enough to follow faqs but dumb enough to not backup like I should.

So I’d be running my server on bare metal and have a couple services going and sooner or later, shit would get borked. Shit that was miles past my competence to fix. Sometimes I’d set up a DB wrong, or break it, or an update would screw it up, and then it would all fall apart and I’m there cursing and wiping and starting all over.

Docker fixes that completely. It’s not perfect, but it has drastically lowered my time working on my server.

My server used to be a hobby that I loved dumping hours into. Now, I just want shit to work.

Absolutely.

I used to use a self hosted nitter for FreshRSS too. I gave up completely. I pruned all the Xitter feeds and looked for other sources.

FreshRSS is great. Container is easy to run.

For years, I had an unstable unraid server. I was fixing it every couple of days after a lockup. I had decided that unraid sucked. When it was up for a week I celebrated. Every one of my dockers was a suspect. I learned to hate all of them.

Then I shitcanned the next cloud docker.

Been up for months without a hiccup.

This is a really boring direction of conversation. It’s boring to talk about the false equivalency regarding a decade old OS that the OS maker themselves don’t support vs Linux today. It’s boring to debate the finer points of continuing support in games. It’s boring to talk about Epic outsourcing work to Proton.

But I really hope you find someone that finds it interesting. Good luck.

Sure. But in the context of Epic claiming that Google is a bad guy for telling Epic to pound sand, Epic telling video game owners who have owned a game for years to get fucked is a bad look.

I was a heavy Rocket League player on Windows and I quit when Epic told Linux users to get bent and I won’t use their game store. Epic knew it would piss off a small but vocal minority and they considered it a cost of doing business. Good luck to em.

Fuck em

That’s a very fair question. I think that from the perspective of a power user (which let’s be honest, giving a shit about this makes one a power user), the difference is sorta bullshit. In Googles case they make it hard but in Apple’s case it’s not allowed at all, so how is Apple better? If Fdroid exists for Android, then choice exists and so Apple is at least as shitty, if not more so.

You’re not wrong.

From the court’s perspective, Apple is the honest party. Apple users are never given the illusion of choice. By contrast, Google sells the illusion of choice while actively working against choice and abuses its market position to do so.

And that’s how we get here.

They bought Rocket League and discontinued the Linux version for seemingly no reason. It was a dick move for sure.

The case established that Google acted intentionally to prevent apps, hardware manufacturers, and basically their entire sphere of influence from using other app stores and services.

So no, they are in fact making massive efforts to stop you from using alternative apps and stores.

Same with their search.

Google is a bad guy, buddy. Time to internalize that.

Original NES. Mario 1, 2, 3. Just about every 1st party game was legendary, but the sports games were great too. There have never been better arcade versions of their sports than Tecmo Bowl and Baseball Stars. Shit, there have been like zero real improvements ever made to the original formula of the launch title Golf. Then there was the amazing 3rd party support. Everything from Jaws to Jackal to Top Gun to Maniac Mansion, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and on and on. Hell, it even has a couple of all time racers with Excitebike and RC Pro Am.

The hidden gems catalog for NES would be bigger than the catalog for like half of consoles out there.

No brainer. NES.

didn’t even mention startropics and that shit with the manual

Portia was huge in my house, but my daughter was so hooked it’s going to end up being one of her favs of all time. We preordered and then waited forever for Sandrock, and then she didn’t like it. She disliked it so much it put me off it. I’ll have to give it a shot.

Multiplayer feels good?

They just implemented search and you have to opt in. There’s a value system in place that may change over time (many things do!), but that ain’t happening any time soon. It took a huge push to even allow search.
